Will installing blinds void my Persimmon Homes warranty?

Not if you use our 'No-Drill' installation methods. We specialise in Perfect Fit and Intu blinds that clip directly into the window gaskets, requiring no screws or permanent alterations, keeping your 2-year builder warranty intact.

When is the best time to arrange a survey for my Persimmon home?

We recommend booking your survey once you have your Home Demonstration date or your keys. We are familiar with Persimmon house types like The Hanbury and The Alnwick, allowing for quick, precise measurements.

Which blinds are best for privacy in a new Persimmon development?

Vision (Day & Night) Blinds are the best choice for privacy. They allow you to control light levels while blocking the view from the street, which is ideal for new-build estates.

Do you have solutions for Persimmon’s French or patio doors?

Yes. Our Perfect Fit International (PFI) blinds are designed for French doors; they clip into the frame and move with the door, so they don't swing or interfere with handles.

Can I get a discount for a full-house blind package?

Absolutely. We offer 'Whole House' deals specifically for Persimmon homeowners, providing discounted rates for outfitting every room in your new home at once.

What Is Persimmon Finishing Touches?

Persimmon Finishing Touches is an optional upgrades and add-ons programme that allows buyers to personalise selected features of their new home before moving in. Depending on the development, house type and stage of construction, buyers may be able to choose upgrades for kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, fitted furniture, electrical fittings and outdoor areas.

Persimmon currently describes its options through Standard, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond levels, giving buyers a choice of specifications and finishes across different budgets. An upgrade generally replaces an item included as standard, while an add-on introduces a feature that would not otherwise be fitted.

The products and specifications available can differ between developments, plots and house types. Buyers should therefore refer to their current brochure and confirm every selection with their Persimmon sales adviser.

How Does the Finishing Touches Appointment Work?

The process usually begins after you reserve your Persimmon home. Your sales adviser will explain the available options, provide the appropriate brochure and arrange a follow-up appointment when it is time to confirm your choices.

Are Blinds Included in Persimmon Finishing Touches?

Based on Persimmon’s current public Finishing Touches overview, window blinds are not specifically listed among the main example categories. However, available products can differ between developments, plots and house types, so buyers should ask their sales adviser for written confirmation of what is and is not included.

Cross Blinds & Shutters provides independent measuring, product advice and professional installation for Persimmon homeowners across Central Scotland. This service is separate from the official Persimmon Finishing Touches programme, and each completed window is assessed before a made-to-measure product is ordered.

Planning Blinds After Handover

You can begin researching blind styles before moving in, but the completed windows should normally be inspected and measured before an order is placed. This helps reduce the risk of problems caused by differences between published floor plans and the finished property.

Independent Blinds and Shutters for Persimmon Homes

If you are arranging blinds independently, the process should include:

Confirm when property access will be available. This may be after receiving your keys unless Persimmon provides earlier access.
Measure every completed window individually. Do not rely entirely on brochure dimensions, floor plans or measurements from another property of the same house type.
Check the window frames and fittings. Glazing beads, handles, ventilation openings and door clearance can affect which products are suitable.
Choose products for each room. Consider privacy, daylight, room use, window type and your preferred interior style.
Confirm manufacturing and installation lead times. This allows you to plan temporary privacy arrangements if your blinds will not be ready immediately.
Receive a written quotation before ordering. The quotation should identify the selected products, measurements, installation requirements and total fitted price.

Perfect Fit blinds may be a practical no-drill option for compatible uPVC windows and doors in many Persimmon homes. Other possible choices include Roller, Day & Night, Venetian, Roman, Honeycomb and Blackout blinds, depending on the room and window configuration.

Cross Blinds & Shutters can bring samples to your property, check window compatibility and recommend suitable made-to-measure options after you receive your keys.

Comparing Persimmon Home Layouts to Dandara and Barratt Designs

Persimmon Homes are known for providing excellent value and modern family layouts. On many Persimmon estates, houses are positioned to create a close-knit community feel, a layout strategy also seen in Dandara Homes developments. This makes privacy a top priority for homeowners, particularly for popular models like the 'Hanbury.' While Barratt Homes may offer similar 3-bedroom proportions, Persimmon’s unique uPVC window profiles are exceptionally well-suited to our Day & Night (Zebra) blinds. These allow you to balance light and seclusion more precisely than standard rollers, ensuring your home feels private even in higher-density developments.

FAQ About Persimmon Homes

Not if you use our "No-Drill" installation methods. Persimmon windows are high-performance uPVC units, and drilling into them can affect your 2-year builder warranty.

We recommend booking your free home survey as soon as you have your Home Demonstration date or once you’ve received your keys.
